T. F. Green Airport Station is an intermodal station under construction in Warwick, Rhode Island on the Northeast Corridor, extending the Providence/Stoughton Line south from Providence. As of June 30, 2010, the project was 85% complete and officials say the project is on schedule and service could start as early as October 2010, with three round trips to Boston per day.
The station's primary purpose is to serve local commuters to Providence and Boston, but it will also bring passengers and employees to and from Providence's T. F. Green Airport (PVD). The station will make it possible to move between T.F. Green and Logan International Airport in about two hours for approximately a $9.75 fare.
Sounds like a good idea that'll make regional travel arrangements more convenient and flexible.
Boston - Now there’s a place where commuter rail makes sense and actually works.
Shouldn’t cost too much more than 18 billion or so dollars.
Hey Willie, I live halfway between Boston & Providence and prefer to fly out of Green than Logan, it’s a smaller airport and less of a hassle. This is money well spent imo.
